#involuntary behavior

• Automatism — The involuntary, mechanical, and unconscious execution of acts, movements, habits, or psychological and motor processes, acquired by an individual through frequent repetition or as a result of innate neurological reflexes. In clinical psychology and psychiatry, the term describes the absence of conscious voluntary control over one's own behavior, manifested either physiologically (walking, blinking) or pathologically (trance states, epileptic automatism crises, or psychic dissociation).
